    Loving V. Virginia (No. 395)

    In Loving v Virginia a married couple from Washington D.C. moved to Virginia where they were then subject to Virginia’s anti-miscegenation statute. Anti-miscegenation laws prohibit the marrying of different races with another. In Virginia, this statute prohibited the marriage between whites and any other race. Richard Loving, a white man, and Mildred Jeter, a black woman, were married in Washington D.C. They then moved to the state of Virginia where they faced criminal charges. Both of them pled guilty and were sentenced to one year imprisonment but the sentence would be waved for 25 years if they moved out of state and didn’t return.…

    The Plaintiff In Loving V. Virginia

    The Plaintiffs in Loving v. Virginia were Richard and Mildred Loving, who were represented by the ACLU in the Supreme Court. The Plaintiff argued the prohibition of interracial marriage was unconstitutional and anti-miscegenation laws violated the Equal Protection Clause and Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The Fourteenth Amendment explains, “No State shall deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of the law.” As declared by the Constitution and Maynard v. Hill case, marriage is a civil right for citizens of the United States and the decision of whether one decides to marry a colored person or not cannot be infringed by any state. Denying anyone their given right to marry without due process of the…

    Enduring Love Dialectical Journal

    The scene was one of cosy domesticity, a man and a woman sharing breakfast after a night out clubbing together. Married? Lovers? Boyfriend and girlfriend, or just a platonic relationship, it could have been any of the three, and the scene would have been mirrored in many homes across Rome. They were normal. Or at least, together, they contained a semblance of normality, which to Kyle, was almost as eerie a sensation as was the morning after his first murder to know that the woman across from him, the one who’d have reason to never trust another man, or allow one to touch her ever again, had entrusted him to hold her in his arms as she slept. And held no regrets for having done so, and not just that. She’d also revealed details to him of her life experiences that she doubted to spoken of with such earnestness and honesty to anyone before him, and he’d returned the favour without a second thought. With her eyes closed, and her soft breathing, and the faintest of snores, but no drooling, she’d appeared so serene and peaceful, and the Army veteran hoped that he’d been in same way responsible for the lack of nightmares.…

    To Love Tenderly Analysis

    Getting into a more general statement regarding the black characters in this novel, they happen to beautifully exemplify “To Love Tenderly” with their hardworking past on the “First Purchase African M.E. Church” that “was in the Quarters outside the southern town limits, across the old sawmill tracks.” They had even named it “First Purchase because it was paid for from the first earnings of freed slaves.” And this displays their developing respect for one another and their level of tolerance for differences when “Negros worshipped in it on Sundays and white men gambled in it on weekdays.” To Love Tenderly is exactly what this black community is taking part in, them facing a high level of disrespect towards their temple still does not seem to change their attitude and actions towards the white folks. The Church happens to lose its amazing appearance and transforms into a vapid look once shown as a gambling centre on weekdays but fortunately that doesn’t change the black communities’ necessity to pray.…

    Another climax begins at the end of chapter 21 with a phone call between Jed and Joe “I’m putting her on, OK? Are you there? Joe? Are you there?” Here McEwan uses juxtaposition of beginning an event within the formal closure of a chapter. The effect of this adds suspense to the novel as a whole as it wills the reader to follow the chain of events. Also, the panicked dialogue of “Are you there? Joe? Are you there?” heightens the climax by leaving it unresolved.…

    Art of Loving

    Upon reading Erich Fromm's The Art of Loving, I gained a better understanding of what love really is. Fromm's book puts love into perspective. He begins with several facts with regards to the attitude in which people treat love. They are the problems of how to be loved, the object to love as well as the confusion between the initial experience of falling in love and the permanent state of being in love, which had a great impact on me, as far as thinking about what love is.…

    Theory of Love

    I was most impressed with Professor Robert J. Sternberg’s Theory of love which simply states that love is made up of three interconnected components: intimacy, passion and decision/commitment. They are thought of as the triangular effect that displays intimacy in terms of closeness, bonding and warmth. It also shows passion as the sexual feelings and desires brought on and it shows commitment as the decision to make the relationship continue on. I really was touched by this theory because it is so relative to my life now. I am married almost five years now and my marriage has seen a multiplicity of ups and downs. However, after considering this model and theory of love and discussing with my wife, we have resolved to find ways and utilize this model to strengthen our relationship.…

    Contradictions of Love

    Franz Kafka once said, “Love is a drama of contradictions.” In other words, love can cause joy as well as sorrow. Often in life, people are in love and therefore have many contradictions with those that they love. William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet explains the rivalry between two households, the Montagues and the Capulets. Romeo, a Montague, and Juliet, a Capulet, fall in love, but since their houses experience strong hatred toward each other, they must withstand difficult challenges and face the consequences of their love. The primary message Shakespeare conveys in Romeo and Juliet is that love is a contradiction, meaning that people who love each other, often dislike one another as well. Characters that portray the concept of contradictions in love are Capulet, Romeo, and Juliet because they all love someone, but feel enmity toward them as well.…
